 +===== Discussion =====
 +

 +This definition establishes the characteristics required to describe a subject as Governed. It prevents the term from serving as an undefined claim of control, approval, or oversight.

 +
 +Governed differs from managed:
 +
 +  * Governed identifies the Authority, Roles, Policies, decision rights, accountability, and oversight applicable to a subject
 +  * Managed concerns the activities used to plan, administer, coordinate, monitor, or control a subject
 +
 +A subject can be managed without an adequately defined governance context.
 +
 +Governed differs from controlled:
 +
 +  * Governed establishes who possesses Authority, which Policies apply, and how decisions receive accountability and oversight
 +  * Controlled indicates that mechanisms constrain or direct the subject’s behavior, state, access, or modification
 +
 +A technical control does not by itself make a subject Governed.
 +
 +Governed differs from authorized:
 +
 +  * Governed identifies the governance context applicable to the subject
 +  * Authorized indicates that an Actor has granted permission for a specified action or use
 +
 +A Governed subject is not necessarily authorized for every use.
 +
 +Governed differs from approved:
 +
 +  * Governed identifies the applicable governance framework and processes
 +  * Approved indicates that an authorized Actor has accepted a particular proposal, state, action, or outcome
 +
 +A Governed subject can remain proposed, pending review, rejected, suspended, withdrawn, or retired.
 +
 +Governed differs from compliant:
 +
 +  * Governed identifies the applicable Authority, Policies, responsibilities, and decision processes
 +  * Compliant indicates satisfaction of identified obligations or criteria
 +
 +A Governed subject can be noncompliant. Governance establishes how the responsible Actors identify, evaluate, report, and address the noncompliance.
 +
 +Governed differs from [[dido:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:v:validation|Validated]]:
 +
 +  * Governed identifies the applicable governance context
 +  * Validated indicates that an authorized Actor has evaluated the subject against defined Validation Criteria for a stated purpose
 +
 +A Governed subject is not necessarily Validated. A Validated subject is not necessarily Governed unless the Validation occurs within an established governance context.
 +
 +Describing a subject as Governed requires more than the existence of a Policy. The governance context must identify, directly or through referenced information:
 +
 +  * The governing Authority
 +  * The governed subject
 +  * The applicable scope
 +  * The responsible Roles
 +  * The applicable Policies
 +  * The applicable decision processes
 +  * The applicable accountability mechanisms
 +  * The applicable review and enforcement mechanisms
 +  * The Evidence required to demonstrate application of Governance
 +  * The required Provenance and Traceability
 +
 +Governance can be centralized, distributed, or federated. Distributed or federated Governance must identify how participating Authorities coordinate:
 +
 +  * Decision rights
 +  * Policy precedence
 +  * Conflicts
 +  * Exceptions
 +  * Delegations
 +  * Accountability
 +  * Evidence
 +  * Provenance
 +  * Traceability
 +
 +===== Example =====
 +
 +A DIDO-TE Test Environment is Governed when the applicable governance context identifies:
 +
 +  * The Organization responsible for the Test Environment
 +  * The governing Authority
 +  * The applicable Governance Domain
 +  * The Test Administrator, Test Operator, Evaluator, and Approval Authority Roles
 +  * The Policies governing creation, configuration, access, use, modification, and retirement
 +  * The approved Baseline
 +  * The Test Definitions authorized for use
 +  * The Resources authorized for allocation
 +  * The process for initiating Test Runs
 +  * The Validation Criteria
 +  * The process for assigning Verdicts
 +  * The process for making Validation Decisions
 +  * The required Evidence
 +  * The required Provenance
 +  * The required Traceability
 +
 +The Test Environment is not Governed merely because an administrator can configure it or an access-control mechanism restricts its use. The identified Authority, Roles, Policies, decision processes, accountability mechanisms, oversight, and Evidence establish that the Test Environment is Governed.
